Notes

from an all grain recipe in 2002, which had good comments from me on taste. halving the black patent malt. Also dropping the hops to 1.25 oz to put within dry stout specs. Also using my new favorite yeast strain, instead of Wyeast 1056. Also dropping mash temp down to 150. Will also try to reduce PH of mash water. We will want to see if we can improve on last time's efficiency, which was 58% for this recipe. shooting for a long sparge/lauter.
